Silicon's element name is Silicon. Silicon's symbol is "Si" Silicon is a metalloid. Silicon would belong in the Semi-Conductor's family. 14 Protons, 14 Neutrons and 14 Electrons (if the silicon element is neutral and the most common of it's atom.)
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen make up amino acids(subunits of proteins). Some aminoacids have sulfurous in their R group.
Answer:
Peptide bonds are formed by hydrolysis or losing a water (H₂O)
Explanation:
Two or more amino acids are linked by forming peptide bonds, and then eventually form polypeptides. These peptide bonds are <u>covalent </u>in nature and require water. an amino group and a carboxyl group to form. These components then undergo hydrolysis to form long-chain amino acids.
The sequence of the amino acid chain <u>starts with the α-amino group residue and with an α-carboxyl group as the terminal residue</u>. This chain is also known as the primary structure of the protein molecule.
The answer is; They stabilize protein structures and, in addition, the weak interactions allow for reversibility.
They allow protein to be easily folded and unfolded without expending too much energy. An example is their significance in maintaining the alpha helices and beta sheets of proteins, and allowing for DNA to be easily unzipped for biochemical processes such as replication or duplication.
